***HELP BAN THE CRUELTY OF BATTERY HEN EGGS***
- Target: Tony Blair, Prime Minister
- Sponsored by: Helen Stanford
A battery hen spends it's entire life in a cage the size of an A4 piece of paper, or 3 to the size of a microwave oven. The hen is squeezed inside a small wire cage with three to eight or nine other tormented hens amid tiers of identical cages in gloomy sheds holding 50,000 to 125,000 debeaked, terrified, bewildered birds.
The cage is so small the hens cannot stretch their wings or even move around. Their feet often grow around the wire floor that they are forced to stand on, making them unble to reach the food, and the hen starves to death, often rotting away beside her cagemates.

Chicks at just ONE day old have their beaks sliced off with a hot iron, which will cause pain for the rest of their lives. This is to stop them pecking each other out of boredom, although they still do it, pulling each others feathers out and mutilating themselves too.
Sometimes the weakest hen in the cage gets pecked to death by the stronger ones.
Often hens use corpses to lay their eggs on, and these eggs roll free and end up in YOUR supermarket!
This petition will be sent to the Prime Minister and the chairmen of ALL major supermarket chains, in an attempt to help stop them selling battery eggs.
Did you know that battery eggs are also used in almost ALL supermarket products like cakes, pasta, mayonnaise, and quiches? We will also campaign for supermarkets to replace these with FREE RANGE eggs!
IT SHOULD NOT BE LEGAL TO DO THIS TO SO MANY INNOCENT ANIMALS! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SIGNING!
